You can always run a SF at displacement speeds or any fast yacht (aside from Jet propulsion) and get the same range as the OR or one built to do...
Pump some of it out. How much extra oil do they have? If it's a little I wouldn't worry about it. But the level is supposed to be checked...
Yeah and how much have you spent at the yard fixing Valhalla? and How many days has the boat been at the yard getting fixed? I used to Manage...
Maybe you just need a Jim Smith. Something along the lines of Marlena.....a 104' SF. Built right in Stuart, Florida......
This as well as contracting a solid reputable builder to start with. I have seen so many instances where the owner(buyer) of the yacht being...
For the engines, I'd use the local Caterpillar dealer.
I agree that the Florida boats are generally better maintained......or fixed properly and see no reason to avoid one. I have seen so many really...
I don't know if I'd go with a one off from a hull that they have laying around. I have heard Outer Reef builds a good boat. I have been on one...
I would spend my time making sure the vent and vent filter are clear and that there is nowhere on the holding tank or fittings that air or fluid...
Yup. I have had Northern Lights engineers quote me 20,000 hours in a yacht application for their generator and 40,000 hrs in a commercial...
Whatever you do, stay away from products with Bleach in them as the Bleach will eat all of the stitching.
I agree with all of the sentiments. I've seen a Northern Lights need to be rebuilt at 1000hrs because it was always run at too light a load. The...
Sturdy is the current manufacturer of the Caterpillar and MTU controls among other things and they do make quality parts.
I think you need a laptop with MAN software to reset it. You may be able to scroll through the alarms menu and reset it that way.
At this point, getting a trained DD mechanic out would be your most cost effective means of correcting the problem rather than simply pissing in...
Here is what I see. I'd recommend chartering something like a 53' Hatteras (with a Captain). Get behind the helm and see if you feel comfortable...
I just thought of this. BUT, also try turning off your battery chargers and see what the voltage is. It could be a battery charger issue as much...
I would go Northern Lights in your application based on the info given above and the fact that Northern Lights has been producing solid generators...
Most likely a bad voltage regulator for the alternator. You can disconnect it temporarily as Kiwi said. However, sending that kind of voltage to...
Both Home Depot and Lowe's sell it in just about every store. Home Depot has a better selection generally and better quality (sharkbite or...
